USA Today 2009

Fashion Forward: Celebs add some bling to their looks - By Donna Freydkin and Alison Maxwell, USA TODAY

 

Retailers widen options, including more modest clothes - By Jayne O'Donnell, USA TODAY

 

"Modesty in young women's clothing is getting a boost from the dismal economy".

 

"Whether it's more of a fiscal or moral shift, understated girls' clothing may indeed be making a comeback"

 

"Whether it's more of a fiscal or moral shift, understated girls' clothing may indeed be making a comeback.

 

Even flashy Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld declared "bling is over" and noted the economy is prompting a "new modesty," in an interview with the International Herald Tribune this year.

Retail consultant Ken Nisch says the trend is more moderation than modesty, but the effect may be the same.

 

"It's not because of a moral revival but about sensibility," says Nisch, chairman of retail brand and design firm JGA. "What's provocative has often been ultra trendy, and it just doesn't make sense to buy things you can't wear for a lot of occasions anymore."

 

The evidence is found everywhere, from the baggy and shapeless "boyfriend" jeans that are replacing skin tight ones for many young women to the basic fashions seen all over New York these days, says Meredith Barnett, CEO of retail boutique website StoreAdore.com".

FASHION SUPER MODELS

Models.com

Let's face it. The clients, especially the blue chip ones are the stars of fashion now and it's their choices, selections and bookings that make and break models today.

From the daily call sheets of photographers like Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Mert n Marcus, Craig McDean, David Sims,Inez and Vinoodh and Steven Klein for clients like US, Italian, French and British Vogue, W, V, Numero,Bazaar,Pop and Another can be culled a clear message about who are the most wanted models of the moment.

It is also brands like Prada, Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Calvin Klein, Estee Lauder, Lancome and Maybelline among others who provide the platform that makes stars of models. In an increasingly competitive market, flooded with hundreds of "cool editorial girls", its the campaigns and contracts that are the final index of how crucial a model is at any given moment.

Consequently here are the faces of the future, MODELS.com's Top 50 Working Models listing.

As for the iconic faces like Kate, Gisele, Carolyn and Natalia? Why they now have their very own listing in the form of MDC ICONS.
